Well its May 2nd!
That means tomorrow is my Birthday!! YEAH! I’m actually happy to be 31 (sort of)
I always make myself a birthday card 😀 I hope to do that today (and post ON my actual birthday :D)
We are celebrating with friends today. We are all going out to eat (like 20 of us) at TGIFridays. We all have kids so they are the place that is the most accommodating! For some reason I LOVE TGIFridays. Fried Green Beans and Fried Plantains-YUM. Im sure I’ll be sick
Tomorrow is “my day” so Jay lets me “eat out” where ever I want for Lunch & Dinner! WAHOO! Breakfast is always my fave-homemade Belgian Waffles, with butter,caramel, whip cream and syrup 😀 Now (given healthier choices) Ill skip all the extras and just have fat free whip cream and fresh strawberries (still Yum-O!).
My mom bought me a TOTAL Spa package-mani, pedi, facial and deep tissue massage! Can you say HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway-I’m happy for my birthday 😀 I know I sound like a kid huh? But how often do we get a day to be spoiled? I know I don’t get many, so I definitely milk it, for all its worth.
Today is the very first official My Time To Create Challenge with my NEW! Team of talent! Im in awe of the samples! Wait till you see. You are sure to get inspired.
Here is the sketch

BONUS Challenge: Make it a Birthday Card! (Since my b-day is tomorrow I had to add that!)

Now for my peek!
A hot cuppa
I have long awaited this image from Whiff of Joy-Willow with Hot Chocolate. She was FINALLY in stock, so I snagged her.
I made this girl to be similar to me :D, and using my favorite color-purple
She also features a felt flower I made-which I included a video for today
Keep reading!!
This is the felt flower that I show you how to cut from felt, in your cuttlebug machine. I also share how to use your nestabilities to cut felt as well.
I also show you how I stitched the flower, so you can see how easy and cost effective it is to create your own felt embellishments!! They would typically run you several dollars for only a couple in the store.
Here is the close up view of the sentiment I chose.
It is from JustRite Stampers -A little caffiene
Me loving coffee-it was PERFECT!
Here is the video-on how to make your own felt flowers
I hope you find the video helpful 😀
Now we move onto the My Time To Create Challenge Team.
This is a collective view of PEEKS .
You have to hop around to see WHO made WHAT!
Let me tell you, these girls are going to keep me hopping with their creativity, fresh outlook, energy and TALENT!
Thanks for stopping by!

Whoop! Whoop! Love it, Lauren! Happy birthday to you (tomorrow), enjoy your lunch and dinner, and your full day ‘o pampering! Sounds like my kind of day. I love that you make yourself a card. 🙂 I hope you get a whole mess of whatever else makes you happy on your special day. My virtual card to you is up on my blog….sending sweet wishes your way, girlie!
I love your adorable card and the image on there is perfect! And, to borrow your expression, THUD! LOVE your felt flowers with stitching. I will be settling in with my tea to watch and to visit the other DT blogs.
Have a great one! ~Dana
Great project Lauren!! Hope you have a super day out and lots of spoiled pampering for your special day…you DESERVE it girl! {{{HUGS}}} 🙂

Thanks

Hope you have a great Birthday!!!! Loved the video!!! You are always so kind to share your ideas with all of us here in cyber world! I was wondering what you used for the leaves? I am looking for some great leaf dies and I like the one you used on your project.
Fantastic card Lauren. I love willow with hot chocolate too. She looks so happy with her cup of steaming coffee (or hot chocolate). I totally understand being excited for your birthday. I turned 30 about a month ago, and I was so excited for my birthday. I went out to eat with friends, and had a really great day.
Happy Birthday Lauren! Hope you have a wonderful day and enjoy eating out!
Love the sketch and your card!
Happy Birthday Lauren!!!!!!!!!1
Happy Birthday Lauren! I hope you have a wonderful weekend of celebrations! sounds fun! Oh and I’m jealous you are going to TGIFridays and having Fried Green Beans…YUMMY is right…my fave!
Love this cute adorable sweet card….those felt flowers are fabulous…need to get me some felt now 😉
Hope you have a wonderful birthday and enjoy it!
Happy Birthday Lauren!!!!!
Love the Willow with Hot Choccie and also that lovely sentiment too!
You Enjoy!
OMG…Willow is sooo cute! She’s like a little Lauren with her hot chocolate. I noticed that blond hair! :O) LOL Love the felt flowers and leaves. I’m going to get my coffee and watch your video for sure! I just bought a TON of felt and quickly found that it does not work with the hand-held punches 🙁 I’m so excited!! Perfect timing, Lauren!
Have a great weekend.
Kristin
Hope you enjoy your birthday weekend, sounds like alot of fun, and the not cooking part is really nice 🙂
I have done these in my machine and love them, I will have to try your cardstock trick.
Wow! This is a great video! I have some of this felt in my classroom that I’ll have to bring home now! Have a great birthday weekend and enjoy that spa package! I’m going for a spa weekend in two weeks with my bffs…can’t wait for all the pampering! Love your card, btw, and have a great weekend!
Lauren sounds like you have ROCKIN AWESOME birthday plans and you deserve every minute of it. Give yourself the day to have fun – just you and your family and friends – no video, cards, templates or other work allowed LOL. By the way – how can you be “sort of” 31?? I loved 30 but hated 31 cause it was such a let down after the big 3-0 (course that was a few years ago for me *wink*) Meanwhile this video, as usual, is great – I have some felt laying around and might just check it out.
Happy birthday and thanks for everything associated with the new DT challenges etc. HUGS n SMILES.
Lauren, your card for this sketch invites me to have some cappuccino :). I love how you made those flowers and how you stitched them. Thank you for sharing and Have a Great Day Tomorrow, enjoy it!
I love your video. I have not tried felt flowers, but I want to try them today. You make it look fun and easy. Thank you so much for sharing!
Pattyjo 🙂

Happy early Birthday!! Have a great day (which it sounds like you have one planned). Great video. I have been wanting to make felt flowers for awhile and now I need to get started on doing those. Thanks for sharing.
Happy Birthday Lauren! Enjoy those Fried Green Beans-yum!
Hugs,

You can probably guess by now that there weren’t many bags to analyze in the Hermes Fall 2012 show, but the ones that were there were largely excellent. Well, except for one horror show of an 80s H-monogrammed attache case. Completely disregard that one and maybe we can just pretend it never happened.
